Campus Sustainability Map Launches

Explore Fort Garry campus through a sustainability lens

November 17, 2023 —

The Office of Sustainability has launched a brand-new interactive map that highlights sustainability features and active transportation trails on campus.

The guide allows users to follow a self-guided sustainability tour or explore campus at their own leisure. For users who are passionate about trees and forestry, try the urban forest tour developed by the Campus Planning Office, or learn about LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) buildings on campus while taking in the outdoors.

The online map also features maps identifying waste bin locations, bike parking options, and additional pedestrian and cycling trails that lead into and around the Fort Garry campus.

Since its inception in 2011, the University of Manitoba’s Battery Recycling Program has diverted more than 5.7 tonnes of common household batteries from landfill, the equivalent of approximately 3 hippopotamuses.
